THE GRAVITY OF WORDS UNSPOKEN
A Memoir in StoriesBy Alexander Roberts
Length1h 47m
About this audiobook
The Gravity of Words Unspoken-- by Alexander Roberts is a deeply personal memoir about childhood, friendship, love, secrets, and the lasting weight of the past.
Told through a collection of stories, it follows a life filled with adventure, laughter, difficult truths, and relationships that leave their mark long after the moment has passed.
With honesty and a willingness to face uncomfortable questions, Roberts explores the silences that once protected him and those that may have hurt others. He doesn't claim to have all the answers or ask to be absolved. Instead, he looks back to better understand the boy he was, the man he became, and the distance between them.
Some words take years to find. Some doors are still worth opening.

21Whose Truth Is It?
22Have You Seen Hans?
23In late June, Dawson City doesn’t get dark.
24A proper expedition.
25Then back at John.
26And then Dawson.
27Not the scream from the turbulence.
28Smooth as butter on hot bannock.
29Then another.
30Laughter.
31Directly north of town.
32Not for years.
33He was Dad.
34The sound of his footsteps.
35A badge of honour.
36Then her sharp intake of breath.
37“Fag.”
38No more informalities.
39Aunts, uncles, cousins and such.
40Exile
41The Yukon didn’t care.
42San Diego, Memphis, El Toro, North Island.
43They carried Marines.
44A palsy of grief.
45My Fairlady
46Vertical on edge.
47Alone in an examination room.
48More power. Better performance.
49The Poem
50And almost always busy.
